Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission Members Announced

Last week I filed a post on the new members of the Judicial Selection Commission. Today, the appointees to the Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission were announced.

The Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission, which replaces the Judicial Evaluation Commission, evaluates the performance of the appellate level judges who are up for re-election. Prior to the election, the commission will complete a thorough review of each judge’s performance and make a recommendation to either retain or replace each judge. These recommendations are placed in newspapers throughout the state to inform voters prior to the election.

Speaker Williams appointed the following members:John Day of Brentwood – founding partner, Day & Blair Henrietta Grant of Knoxville – retired educator

I look forward to the opportunity to serve on this Commission and appreciate Speaker Williams’ confidence in me. I served on the Judicial Evaluation Commission as an appointee of former Lt. Gov. John S. Wilder and found it to be both an educational and a rewarding experience.
